This
fall, Crisp Kitchen + Bar will open at 1837 1st St. NW (replacing Costa Brava).
On the menu: a mix of diner food and bar fare, with options like burgers, hot
chicken, poutine and homemade pickles.

They'll offer both traditional
and modern cocktails all at a price of $10 or less, according to a press
release. Jamie Hess, and Ivy & Coney alumn, is behind the place, and chef
Alex McCoy is designing the food menu (though chef Akiem Brooker will be in the
kitchen).

The two floor space promises a
low-key soundtrack, food and wine, and two levels of outdoor seating.
